We will miss him and his imagination
Bumble-Ardy has evolved from an animated segment for Sesame
Street that aired in the early 1970s to a glorious picture
book about a mischievous pig who has reached the age of nine
without ever having had a birthday party. But all that
changes when Bumble throws a party for himself and invites
all his friends, leading to a wild masquerade that quickly
gets out of hand. In this highly anticipated picture book,
Maurice Sendak once again explores the exuberance of young
children and the unshakable love between parent (in this
case, an aunt) and child. Bumble-Ardy is the first book
illustrated and written by Sendak since Outside Over There
in 1981.
